"Sea formThe sea made of god's tears."


"Hi my friends, I hope you're all doing well. Today, I'm taking you to the sea of love and affection.

Mother Nature is truly amazing. The diverse creations she produces astonish humankind. That's why we find such wonderful and unique natural places all over the world. Usually, when we think of the sea, we imagine a vast ocean filled with endless blue, salty water.

However, places like the Dead Sea are different. Today, we're going to tell you about another incredible creation of Mother Nature: the pink lakes of Western Australia, which attract many tourists due to their unusual color.








Instead of blue water, these lakes are filled with bright pink water, often referred to as 'bubblegum pink.' While scientists haven't been able to provide a 100% accurate explanation for this unusual color, they believe it's directly related to the high salinity of these lakes.

Among the various pink lakes, Lake Hillier is the most famous.

This lake is located on an island in a small archipelago off the coast of Esperance, Western Australia. Surrounded by eucalyptus trees and a sandy strip, this pink lake, combined with the blue ocean around the island, creates a truly spectacular scene. About 600 meters in length, reaching this lake is quite difficult. That's why many people go there by small plane or boat.

Middle Island, where this lake is located, was first discovered by explorer Matthew Flinders in 1802.

Although scientists haven't been able to explain the pink color definitively, they say the water in this lake is suitable for swimming.

However, due to the difficulty of access, many people don't travel directly to the lake.

But if you do manage to get there, you'll have the unique experience of floating in this lake, which has about ten times the salinity of the surrounding ocean water, similar to the Dead Sea.

A water sample and DNA test conducted in 2015 revealed that a bacterium called Salinibacter ruber is abundant in the lake's water. They speculate that a pigment released by this salt-tolerant bacterium causes the color. So, the people who live there believe this sea was formed from the tears of Gods, anyway pink color is a color that we all like.

I haven't been able to go there yet. If any of you have been, don't forget to send me your beautiful photos!"
